 **Adaptive Leverage System (Nov 24, 2025 - RISK-ADJUSTED POSITION SIZING):**
 - **Purpose:** Automatically adjust leverage based on signal quality score - high confidence gets full leverage, borderline signals get reduced risk exposure
 - **Quality-Based Leverage Tiers:**
-  - **Quality 95-100:** 15x leverage ($540 × 15x = $8,100 notional position)
+  - **Currently disabled** - fixed 5x leverage for all signals (Jan 30, 2026)
-  - **Quality 90-94:** 10x leverage ($540 × 10x = $5,400 notional position)
+  - **Previous tiers (historical):** Quality 95-100: 15x, Quality 90-94: 10x
   - **Quality <90:** Blocked by direction-specific thresholds
-- **Risk Impact:** Quality 90-94 signals save $2,700 exposure (33% risk reduction) vs fixed 15x
+- **Configuration:** `USE_ADAPTIVE_LEVERAGE=false`, `LEVERAGE=5`, `HIGH_QUALITY_LEVERAGE=5`, `LOW_QUALITY_LEVERAGE=5` in .env
-- **Data-Driven Justification:** v8 indicator quality 95+ = 100% WR (4/4 wins), quality 90-94 more volatile
-- **Configuration:** `USE_ADAPTIVE_LEVERAGE=true`, `HIGH_QUALITY_LEVERAGE=15`, `LOW_QUALITY_LEVERAGE=10`, `QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD=95` in .env
 - **Implementation:** Quality score calculated EARLY in execute endpoint (before position sizing), passed to `getActualPositionSizeForSymbol(qualityScore)`, leverage determined via `getLeverageForQualityScore()` helper
 - **Log Message:** `📊 Adaptive leverage: Quality X → Yx leverage (threshold: 95)`
 - **Trade-off:** ~$21 less profit on borderline wins, but ~$21 less loss on borderline stops = better risk-adjusted returns
